Well & Good with Art Green

Diana Rodgers


Listen Later

We’ve all heard the arguments against eating meat. Diana Rodgers is combating this massive issue one issue at a time - nutritionally, environmentally and ethically. 

 

She’s spent decades in food research and nutrition, including in her book and film, Sacred Cow. Diana is adamant that eating meat is not only healthy, but it’s imperative for humans and for the environment. 

 

This is a comprehensive deep-dive into eating meat, where Diana rebuffs some of the biggest issues people have against it.

 

Diana talks about:

  • Issues with the science
  • Where anti-meat agendas started, and why it’s problematic
  • How meat prevents dangerous monocultures that a lot of plant-based foods are based on
  • Carbon sequestration from animal farming vs trees
  • The problem with unhealthy meat alternatives (chips, processed foods and plastic wrapping)
  • The ugly reality of allowing animals to die naturally
  •  

    If you’ve ever thought about how much meat you eat, or if you should cut back on meat, this is a great guide to the entire issue as a whole - not just one or two aspects of it.
